To do this go to www.McAfee.com , click on "virus information" in the horizontal list at the top. Then in the vertical list on the left click on "virus hoaxes". Then scan the list of virus hoaxes. If you want to learn more about the hoax, click on the name in the list. These e-mail hoaxes are as bad as pyramid letters.
